WHEEL of Fortune’s Pat Sajak has been slammed after he posed for a photo with a controversial figure.
It comes after the veteran host shared a string of shocking tweets.

Over the weekend, a photo showing Pat, 75, with Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, 48, went viral.
Although the image was taken earlier this month, it gathered fresh attention as it was re-shared by a Twitter account that claims to be “exposing right-wing extremism and other threats to democracy.”
The photo shows Pat smiling between Marjorie and RSBN reporter Bryan Glenn, who is giving the thumbs up.
Marjorie is known for her far-right views and conspiracy theories, and many Wheel of Fortune fans were unhappy to see Pat posing with such a divisive figure.
“Oh man… well no more WOF!” wrote one user.
Another agreed: “I will never watch that show again.”
A third chimed in: “I watch it every night with my husband and daughter, after seeing this, never again!”
“Well I just lost all respect for him now. He went down the rabbit hole,” added another.

It’s not the first time that Pat has caused a storm on Twitter.
He previously trended on the platform with a post that read: “I now believe global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists knowingly misleading for their own ends. Good night.”
The Daytime Emmy winner has also appeared to share other since-deleted Tweets which fans found equally offensive.
“Damn the career consequences! I’m hereby proclaiming my heterosexuality!” he perviously wrote.
’THE END IS NEAR’
Pat may be preparing to throw in the towel as Wheel of Fortune host, a job which he has held since 1981.
“Years go by fast. We’re getting near the end. It’s been a long [time]. We’re not going to do this for another 40 years. The end is near,” the TV icon cryptically hinted during an interview with Entertainment Tonight earlier this week.
It comes after fans called for him to either retire or to be fired as viewers grow increasingly sick of his on-screen demeanour.
Similarly, the National Enquirer reported in May that the Wheel of Fortune crew had complained about the host’s behaviour in the past.
Pat – who is said to be raking in $15million for his hosting gig – recently celebrated his 40th anniversary on the show.
